I do not play all of theese champions actively so some of the builds may be outdated or just bad, by all means point anything out if you see something wrong or if you just disagree with me, I'll be happy to have a discussion about it.

My current elo is 1554, 2049 and 1706 for thoose who are interested.

I'm not including elixirs or summoner spells as both are extremely situational even more so than item builds. But I do suggest getting elixirs when needed, after core items are finished (Bloodrazor for WW, Infinity Edge for physical carries etc.)

Nor am I including rune pages as I think they're not quite befitting the point of the thread and are a personal choice of what you want/need.

If you're looking for a specific build, CTRL+F and type in the name of the champion.

LEGEND:
+ Means buy.
- Means sell. - You may get a choice between a Doran's item and another item in some builds and then later the option to sell it, if you didn't get it, just ignore the -.
/ Means or.
() Means optional. - The build usually proceeds as if you didn't get the optional item, if you do get it then you're going to have to ignore one of the two last item slots.

"But Kab, you typed down the same item twice here!!"
You may see the same item twice in many of the builds, but that just means that if you didn't get it before, you have another chance to get it now!
------------------------------------------
Akali build - R>Q>E>W (But make sure you get one point in W at level 4) - Working on this one.

+Doran's Ring
+Ruby Crystal
+Boots of Speed
+Soul Shroud/Aegis of the Legion
+Boots of Swiftness/Mercury's Treads
+Aegis of the Legion/Soul Shroud
+Banshee's Veil/Shurelya's Reverie
+Frozen Mallet/Randuin's Omen
-Doran's Ring
+Shurleya's Reverie/Gurdian Angel
------------------------------------------
Jarvan build - R>Q>E>W (Put a point in E first and a point in W at 4) - If jungling, replace the first item with Wriggle's.

A FANTASTIC guide.
Only thing is, with Fiddles, I would forgo Banshees in favour of a Void Staff right there and then. Fiddles is a squishy, the Banshee means he'll last what, 2 more seconds when getting pummeled in a brawl? I'd rather go for the 40% Magic Penetration.

And lol, Soraka build is outdated because she's an outdated character. Does very little late-game.

The early banshee is mainly for the CC shield it provides, that means that you can't be stunned quite so easily while trying to cast your ulti and nor when you've already cast your ulti and are moving around with it, getting stunned is not something you want when you're playing Fiddle.

I did mean to update my Soraka build before I made this thread, but I just had no idea what direction to go with her now.. I heard sunfire Soraka is quite effective though.

For Cho'Gath, less Sunfire Capes, more Frozen Heart/Randuin's. CDR is a great stat for Cho (36 second Feast, wat), and items with auras beyond an easily countered damage aura and/or disruptive actives are a great way to be more threatening as a tank. Also consider Abyssal Sceptre for additional MR against a heavy magic damage team.

For Cho'Gath, less Sunfire Capes, more Frozen Heart/Randuin's. CDR is a great stat for Cho (36 second Feast, wat), and items with auras beyond an easily countered damage aura and/or disruptive actives are a great way to be more threatening as a tank. Also consider Abyssal Sceptre for additional MR against a heavy magic damage team.

Well I label tanks two ways, selfish tanks and unselfish tanks. Cho'Gath just happens to belong in the former group, which is why for example he is one of the few tanks that I do not actually get Aegis, or atleast I don't get it first.

And I actually really dislike the suggestion of Frozen Heart as it adds no health to him and if you're going to get armor then it's Sunfire Cape or Thornmail in my opinion, I do like Randuin's for him though, I think I'll try to throw that in there a bit earlier in the build.

Although I wasn't planning on doing it, now that you mention it, I might add some of that in there. But it's alot of work so don't expect all of it quite yet.

I think I might add general runes and masteries in there with time aswell.

Fiddle actually rushes a Zhonyas ring immediately after sorc shoes. Any competent team will just focus fire you down as soon as you appear or punt you away (via headbutt, buster shot, etc.) Rylai's won't help you MUCH for either of those. An instant Zhonya's in the middle of their team causes confusion as they try to focus you and they are either forced to scatter away from it and give your team an opportunity to pounce on any stragglers or fight in it and take some heavy damage.

Well I was actually really struggling to find a last item for her, but the added health and AP is quite nice, capping at about 662 AP with no masteries or runes. Not to mention that it adds a second slow to R (I think) a slow to E and a second slow to Q aswell (Although that's probably pretty useless.)

But personally, I don't often get as far as Rylai's myself and when I do, I tend to go for Banshee's most of the time.

Thing is, you really don't need to stack that much health on Cho. You get most of what you need from Feast alone, and Frozen Heart also has the all-important CDR stat as well as mana so you can keep fighting for longer before running dry, and your abilities will come off cooldown that much faster making you much more of a threat. The aura adds a lot to your survivability indirectly by reducing the damage output of autoattack champs. Thornmail just makes it more likely for you to be ignored in teamfights, and I find isn't worth it unless the other team is stacked with physical damage.
